Thursday after work the crew and I decided to check out Ground Zero for their happy hour.\u00a0 Domestic drafts on tap for 2 bucks 4-7 PM, 7 days a week.\u00a0 Not bad at all.\u00a0 I also had their “Dixie” chili cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, which was really good.<\/p>\n

While there, I took out my new camera and snapped a few pics of the place, for the benefit of those of you who haven’t been by yet.\u00a0 The place was relatively empty for happy hour, but it got busy by the time I left at 7:15.\u00a0 The camera appears nearsighted in these shots – sharp up close, blurry far away.\u00a0 Looks like I’ll have to figure out which of the 20 or so different picture modes on the camera is best for interior shots like these.\u00a0 It was brand new so I just shot on “auto” mode for the initial round of photos.\u00a0 A little blurry, but you can at least get an idea what the place looks like:<\/p>\n

They did a good job of the place, making it feel like a nice restaurant while at the same time giving it the feel of an authentic juke joint.\u00a0 Like Huey’s, you can write on the walls with markers.\u00a0 Large, open dance floor right in front of the stage.\u00a0 I had a good time there and bartender Angie took good care of us.\u00a0 I doubt I’ll be there for happy hour every day, but it’s an alternative for days when the Saucer puts something nasty on Fire Sale.<\/p>\n

More pics and posts to come today.\u00a0 I have some stuff I need to get done on my laptop, so I’m considering getting in the car and driving out to a Wi-Fi coffee shop in Midtown, maybe Otherlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
